Hevea brasiliensis
for Improved Antioxidant Penetration
This article examines the ability of liposomes to improve the in vitro skin penetration of
Hevea brasiliensis
extract in a cream, for antioxidant benefits. Additionally, the sensory effects of the liposomes on the cream were assessed.

A Dermatological View: Antioxidant Inhibits UV Erythema In Vivo in Humans
Described here was an in vivo model to determine antioxidative capacity of a topical skin care emulsion versus the emulsion’s vehicle on human skin that was exposed to UVR. Results suggest the test emulsion and its vehicle control inhibited the induction of erythema and reduced inflammation caused by the UV exposure.

Influence of Skin Diffuse Reflectance on Sun Damage and Ingredient Efficacy Measurements
Current in vitro methods to assess photostability and antioxidant activity do not account for the diffuse reflectance of skin. Described here is an in vitro test that addresses this variable, mimics end-use product conditions and models photodamage processes. The approach is employed to determine the efficacy of an antioxidant from the Camellia sinensis (tea) plant.

Dolichos
Cell Culture Extract for Protection Against UV Damage
Dolichos biflorus
cell culture extract is evaluated here for its effects on skin cells. Results indicate the extract provides strong anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and protective properties for skin, and the ability to repair UV-induced damage. Further, this work reinforces that cell culture systems are efficient biofactories to produce natural and effective compounds.
